Our two-week celebration for International Angling Day 2022 begins June 1! International Angling Day (IGFA Day) is a global celebration of recreational fishing created by the IGFA on our 80th Anniversary.
IGFA Day
To celebrate this worldwide event we will be hosting limited youth and family fishing clinics around the world and sharing some exclusive content from the IGFA’s E.K. Harry Library of Fishes vault through our social networks.
Online Auction
The IGFA Day celebrations will continue on June 5-12 through the 2022 IGFA Online Auction. Don’t miss your chance to bid on some great tackle, gear, artwork, apparel, fishing charters, and more while showing your support for the future of recreational angling.
Reel Into Fishing Camp
Ocean County, New Jersey
August 15-17, 2023
A 3-day fisheries education program for youth in 5th – 10th grades. Students will learn about fisheries management, the basics of recreational fishing, fish biology and tagging, environmental science, and go out on outdoor adventures including a fishing charter with the Bingo. This program has been running for 9 years and was created by IGFA Representatives in New Jersey and Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County. This program continues to grow in interest, so we are extremely happy to see young anglers and budding scientists attend the Reel Into Fishing camp!
